Select language to translate this lyric
Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a Northern Star
And I said, constantly in the darkness
Whereâs that at?
If you want me Iâll be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue tv screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I am frightened by the devil
And Iâm drawn to those that ainât afraid
And I remember when you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Well surely you touched mine
âCause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh youâre, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
And I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
She said
Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed
You are in my blood, youâre my holy wine
You taste so bitter, baby, and you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you darling
I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
